Buckle Up, Nerds: NASA is creating the first gravity sensor for the SPACE-A tools, the luggage size, which can be measured everything from groundwater to the hidden petroleum.
Researchers at NASA (JPL) JET Propulsion laboratory with many partners are developing the project called Gravity Gradiometer Pathfinder (QGPF). The difference in accelerating the object is in line with the strength of gravity that acts in each object. When gravity stronger the object -Mass testing -faster
The gravity of the world is not stable. – It is a thorough matter all the time. When the mass changes around the world, geological processes such as the activity of the Ice Birth, or the drainage of water, can push the gravity a little in one area or others in our physical level. Those changes cannot be seen – but not tools that are sensitive to scientists.
Those small styles are not just a rhetoric of nature. – They have real utilities for navigation systems, natural resources and even national security. With the right sensor, scientists can use gravity to “see” what is hidden under the earth's surface. The sharp gravity map, the more we understand what happened under the ground.
“We can determine the mass of the Himalayas using atoms,” Jason Hed, the head of the world science technology, JPL said in NASA. release– QGGPF uses especially atomic atoms, which cools over the absolute center, which is more like a wave of waves than measuring in space.
This is where the quagan quoted magic comes in: QGGPF uses two clouds of the atoms that are very cold-and compare how fast they fall compared to each other. Faster collapse indicates strong gravity in that position. The difference in acceleration between the clouds tells scientists that the abnormalities of gravity are
Unlike the Gravity Gradiometers, which is older than QGGPF, uses a quantum physics to make sure that it is repeated and accurate. “With atoms, I can guarantee that every measurement will be the same,” said SHENG-WEY ChiOW Physics. “We are less sensitive to the environment.”
QGGPF contains those enthusiastic temples in a small package according to the SPACEFLIGHT standard: the device weighs only 275 pounds (125 kilograms) and takes about 0.3 cubic yards (0.25 cubic meters).
Gradiometers gravity may be more sensitive than a classic gravity sensor. That means smaller information than the blind spots and has a lower understanding of our feet – and may be on other planets in the future.
QGGPF is set to be released within the end of the decade and its main mission is to supply technology – so “Pathfinder” as “No one can fly before,” JPP Postdoc Ben Stray said in the same model. “We have to test in space to know what it really has.”
If the QGGPF fly and proceeded as expected, we may not only But our own matters with details that have never been before – We can change the way we look into a remote and stone world.
